Tilling The Soil

Jamie Mitchell • Times Record

Annabelle LaCrue uses an old-fashioned “hand tiller” in the front yard flower bed of the Clayton House on Saturday during the quarterly student member gathering. Local junior- and senior-high students were awarded volunteer certificates for their help in spring cleaning at the Clayton House as well as experiencing a special living history program entitled, “Good Horses, Better Boots and Gold Coins: Stories Behind the 10,000 Clayton Cases.” Annabelle joined other Southside students from Mrs. Rickman’s AP U.S. History class for the event, taking home not only Clayton House volunteer certificates but a few hard-earned extra credit points for the class. Annabelle is the 16-year-old daughter of Michel and Mark LaCrue.
